This story encourages discussions about preparedness, community resilience, and the importance of helping others during difficult times. It is a good book to recommend to students who are interested in weather or natural disaster history.

Historical Fiction
Published 2011
This book recounts the devastating impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans through the eyes of a young boy and his family. The book accurately depicts the catastrophic impact of the storm on New Orleans in 2005, including the destruction of homes, the evacuation process, and the challenges faced by residents. It does a good job of showing the disaster's historical significance and its effects on the community.

“Louis Daniel clutched his horn, even as the storm raged.“ This shows that even through a hard time he clung to what was important to him.

A historical fiction book published in 2011. A moving fictional story about the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the people of New Orleans, as seen through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy. A must-have for introducing this historical event to children.

4.5 ⭐ I just don't think anyone beats Erik Larson in nonfiction telling today. I always find his books fascinating and end up learning things I never did. Isaac's Storm is no different. It is about the deadliest hurricane to ever hit America. It happened 105 years before Katherine, in 1900 in Galveston, Texas. The hurricane killed thousands and demolished the city. Some say had it not been for the hurricane, Galveston may have been as ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read big as Houston and as important. Larson looks at a meteorologist Isaac Cline and the deadliest hurricane. It seems in those days, men had thought that they had reached the limits of science and that they were immune to nature's power. A very compelling, vivid true story of life and death.
